Leukocytes are associated with lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (LEDVT) in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). Nonetheless, the correlation between differential leukocyte subtype counts in peripheral blood and LEDVT is poorly understood. This study explored the relationship between admission basophils in leukocytes and 14-day LEDVT in non-surgical patients with sICH.

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a prevalent hemorrhagic stroke characterized by a significant fatality rate and severe neurological impairments. Stress hyperglycemia has been confirmed to have a significant prognostic role in a range of diseases. However, studies on the association between stress hyperglycemia and the outcome of ICH have not currently been reported.

Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of staged retrograde flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy (FURS) and miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy (m-PCNL) for treatment of renal stones of 2-4 cm in diameter.

Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted in 70 patients with renal stones of 2-4 cm in diameter admitted in our hospital between January 2013 and December 2015. The patients were randomized to receive staged FURS (35 cases) or m-PCNL (35 cases), and the total treatment time, total hospital stay after procedure, total medical cost, treatment success, decrease in hemoglobin level and complications were compared between the two groups.

In the present paper, 60 whole wheat flour samples were prepared and corresponding NIR spectra were collected. After the determinations of calibration range, several spectral sub-regions containing calibration range and prepared for the correction using multiple scattering correction (MSC) were obtained in the whole spectral region firstly, and MSC correction based on different spectral sub-region followed subsequently. Corresponding spectral data were obtained from the fixed calibration range of the spectra corrected based on different regions.
